What part of az are you in?

Always a good time! I got caught behind a car following a box truck near the base. Combined with a decent amount of "seasonal" traffic, it is a little difficult to pass in that area, at least for a few miles. On the 28th there is a marathon, so aside from the typical bicyclists you may need...

I'll be on the mountain for the next hour or so...(1:45)

If the tube is unrestricted from the red rubber to the end of the tube, and you took the cap apart and made sure there is no restriction/goop where the cap/small hole meets the rubber than i'd say a cap is your fix! Your wrong... If the system uses a ldp (or leak detection pump), then it...

I'm heading out in a few and my "turn around point" will be superior az/ rt77. If any phoenix guys want to follow me back i'm sure i could be persuaded to add mt lemmon in before i head home... i should be in superior around noon. I'll check this thread in an hour/ or pm me if anyone is...

Weird, when I used checkout with paypal the other day I was one click away from submitting the order and no place to enter promo code... Today I used checkout with a debit card and the area to apply the code is on the shipping options page (which i never say checking out with paypal)...

Congrats! The desert isn't for everyone, but when it is- you tend to LOVE it! You'll know your a desert rat when you put on a winter jacket for 65^ days :D.

I'm was thinking now would be a good time to order the leo vince, but when i tried to checkout i didn't see anywhere to apply a coupon code...

I'd be hard pressed to find a SINGLE replacement for what i use the fz for... however if i was in a position where i could have multiple bikes then it would be an sv1000 for the longer rides and a r6/zx6 for the mountains.

So... take a week off work, read through 99 pages of thread, then hope the details for acquiring the lever are in there? :D

Don't know how i missed this... Not only is the road description spot on, but when I made this trip last weekend I rode it "out'n'back". I will say, both times i rode this i did see tons of border patrol, but zero police.

A properly installed heli-coil is very, very strong! Do you have the torque specs for 11 & 13? I'd like to verify all of my engine mounting bolts...

Knowing what octane actually does, should make choosing a grade a bit easier.... This is a well written article that does a good job explaining this topic: Premium Gasoline – What Does Premium Fuel Do for Your Car? - Road & Track If your too lazy to read the whole thing, read the "I hear you...

You should definitely snap some pics! Noise, emissions, cost, too much saki... Trying to second guess an engineer will make your head hurt (sometimes knowing the real reason they did something, will make it even worse!).

I'll be the odd ball here, and say i'd trade some low end for more topend on my fz (maybe i should pickup some r6 cams...). The fz has more low end than any other 600 inline four i've owned. Its about the tradeoff, if you want something that doesn't need to be revved as much- get a twin...
